Here in the USA the magic stuff for tire repair is Weldwood Contact Cement. It can also be used to coat the rear sidewalls to help prevent chunking. Put some on, let it dry 15 minutes or so, then press the sidewall down several times on some carpet. It will pick up fibers that serve as reinforcement.
